The IT Professional Competency Model

 

 The IT professional Competency Model (e-skills procom) is being established as an industry-recognised, internationally relevant training framework for organising courses and qualifications by the disciplines of the IT profession. Built on IT professional National Occupational Standards, and linked to the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA), e-skills procom defines knowledge, understanding and competencies for seven broad disciplines (and their sub-disciplines) at five levels of progression, incorporating technical, business and personal skills.

e-skills procom is the basis for e-skills UK's work to reform and simplify the qualifications map for IT professionals. It will help IT professionals to achieve recognition for their skills, and employers to plan training and development. It is also helping providers of education and training to develop new courses to meet the needs of different IT disciplines.

e-skills procom is being developed by employers in both private and public sector, with the support of professional bodies and other partners, to create a united approach to help advance the IT profession across the UK.
